I just don't see him getting that Many carries so soon. Look at Hill's 1st year he was basically a blocking back until the South Carolina game.


Hill's situation.
-One year not playing or practicing any football
-Alfred Blue, Kenny Hilliard, Spencer Ware, Michael Ford, Terrance Magee ahead of him
-North Texas
-redshirt junior QB
-4 of 6 leading WRs returning, all with at least 5 catches, one with 41
-

Fournette's situation
-6'1 226 sub 4.5 40, WR hands, just played football a couple months ago
-Terrance Magee, regressed Kenny Hilliard ahead of him
-Wisconsin team that brings back 3/4ths of their starting secondary, but zero of their starting front 7
-True freshman or 1 start sophomore QB
-8 returning catches from two WRs
-4/5th of a road grating OL

I mean all signs point to him being needed really badly. It's like last year when we thought we wouldn't need Hill early, then game one showed us different.

I'm really excited to be opening up with a quality opponent. It should be a good game. I think we win, but they can run the ball. Our interior D better bring their lunch pale with them. I don't think they'll be able to stop us for 4 quarters on the ground. If a few turnovers and some special teams plus and the game goes who makes them.

I am not saying we don't need him right away, its just the way Miles deals with Freshman. Now from a lot of responses in the thread it looks like we may not need fornette in this game anyway and win going away.
